How do you remove a vibration damper from a car?
How do you remove a vibration damper from a car?
Open the cap (2) of the brake caliper vibration damper (1), to gain access to the internal torx. 3. Remove the brake caliper vibration damper (2) from the brake caliper vibration damper stud (1). Hold against internal torx of damper stud (1). 4. Remove the damper stud (1) from the rear brake. Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution . 1.
Why do I need a damper on my brake caliper?
An additional damper weight mounted on the brake caliper increases the overall mass of the component, thus lowering its resonant frequency. Depending on the configuration and position of the weight, it can be used for either targeted noise reduction or complete noise elimination.
Can a brake caliper be replaced on a Punto?
Fiat Punto rear axle ( Fig. 1) Opel Astra rear axle (Fig. 2) Damper weights installed in the factory by the vehicle manufacturer must be re-mounted on the new component if the brake caliper is replaced. Damaged damper weights must be replaced, and should never be removed without subsequent replacement.
Why are there weights on the brake caliper?
When a moving vehicle brakes, oscillations occur at the brake caliper. These oscillations generate vibrations, which can lead to unpleasant breaking noises. In order to dampen (eliminate) these unwanted oscillations, additional weights are attached to the component in question. These weights are known as damper weights.
